THE FAIR GROUND SALE.
A Chance to Make Money.


Two years ago, when the Zane property,
on the east side of the Islant was sold at
auction, the prices paid were supposed to
be very large; yet the land has all since
then grown rapidly in value, the\lncrease
ranging from fifty to one hundred percent.
Some bought for speculation, and some for
homes, but all, so far as heard from, have
been gainers. That part of the ground
lying west Of Front street was the lowest
in elevation, and apparently the least ae-
eessible to streets. 1t was consequently
the least in demand at the sale. Butsince
the actual opening up of the ground, that
is the part which has advanced most in
value.
On next Monday the Fair Ground tract,
larger, and more beautiful in appearance,
laid out mostly in larger lots, and having,
for the greater part of it, higher eleva-
ton, is to be offered for sale. 1t is to be
offered first rs a whole, then in blocks, and
then in lots. Doubtless capitalists will bid
upon it in all these forms, for the purpose
Of making money. Why should not per
sons who want pleasant homes avail them
selves of the opportunity to pay first prices,
rather than wait year and then pay the
prices that will be ruling when the streets
shall be opened and the water and gas
mains laid through the ground? The land
lies too we'll, and is too attractive to be
long neglected when it is made available
for homes

A NOVEL ATTEMPT.
Jennie Mcbride Makes Two Attempts to
Hang Herself With Her CT thing.

Jennie Mcbride Makes Two Attempts to
Hang Herself With Her CT thing.
There came near being sensation at
the City Hall last evening. Officer Bell
had arrested Jennie Mcbride for being dis
orderly on one of the streets in the East
ern portion of the Fourth Ward. The
woman was placed in cell, and no par
ticular attention was given her for time.
About half an hour after the woman was
locked up, couple of friends OF Lookup
Keeper Will Brant came Ill to see him, and
the three gentlemen stood talking in the
outer room, few yards from the door
leading TO the cell-room. In a moment or so
their attention was attracted by the peculiar
breathing Of the woman, and they went
into the cell-room to see what was the
matter. They were almost startled out Of
a years growth by seeing Jennie hanging
from the roof-bars of her cell, she being
suspended by a portion of her dress. The
cell door was promptly opened and the
woman was taken down and laid on the
bench in the cell. An examination showed
that she had taken her dress off and twist
ing it together, had made two turns Of
this novel rope around her neck and then
passed the end over one of the upper bars
and thrown her full weight upon it. If
she had not been discovered when she was,
a few moments would have sufficed to shut
off her wind for good.
When the men laid Jennie out on the
bench, they supposed there was no further
danger and left her alone. No sooner had
they gone, than she made another attempt
TO shuttle off this mortal coil. The dress
had been taken away from her as pre-
cautionary measure, but Jennie did not let
a little thing like that sway her from her
purpose. She took off her skirt and
twisted it into SOFT of rope. This she
put around her neck, and in moment
was trying to twist it so tight as to make
breathing an impos ibility. Once more
the kindly Lookup Keeper went to her aid,
and then, despairipg of keeping his fair
prisoner behind the bars in an unchanged
condition, she wat turned out into the
cruel world and told 10 make herselfscarce.

Keller-FIading.

Yesterday morning at nine O'Clock the
st. Alphonsus church was comfortably
filed with admiring friends, who had as
sembled to witness the marriage OF MIR.
Henry NJ. Keller and Miss Minnie P.
Fading. The ushers were Prof. J seph
Keller, brother of the groom, and Joseph
SAVERS, and the attendants were Miss
Josie Flading, sister of the bride, and
Miss Sue Riester. The ceremony was per
form. ed by Father Hyacinth, after which
the bridal party were driven to the nome
of the brides parents on Seventh street,
where an elegant wedding spread had been
prepared. A large number OF the frlends
of both of the contracting parties were
present, among whom was Rt. Rev. Bishop
Kahn and Rev. Father Schilp.
The presents were numerous ana
costly. The popularity of the couple
was apparent from handsome present OF
French China tea set, highly ornament
ed, a gift from the young ladies OF the
Arion Society, and a handsome easel, q
present from the members of the choir OF
the church. On the easel was beautiful
steel engraving and useful present from
each member of the choir, each present
bearing the card of the don1r. The young
couple, after receiving the congratulations
OF their numerous friends, left on the l2;45
train over the C., L. q w. K. r. for Cleve-
land, Detroit and other places.

ANOTHER RUMOR
That the %. 4 o. Company Has Made
Land Deal, Here.

That the q. 4 o. Company Has Made q
Land Deal, Here.
A rumor has been current the past few
days to the effect that the B & o. railroad
company had purchased the property lying
along its tracks, in the Eighth ward, between
Thirty-eighth and Thirty-ninth streets,
which was mentioned in the REGISTER
SOME time since in connection with a new
pottery company.
To ascertain what truth was in the ru-
NOR a REGISTER reporter called upon a
prominent local official last evening and III
answer to an interrogatOry, he said:
"If the B. * o. is purchasing, or has
purchased any land in the city, 1t must
certainly have been through outside par
ties that the deal was made, because the
officials here have no knowledge of such
transaction. | think the rumOr is a very
improbable one, at least it looks that way
to me-"
There seems to be somewhat Of a mys-
terry in connection with this land deal.
1t is known that everything is in shape
for the transfer Of the land, and the par
ties who hold the land are known, but who
is to buy it is where the mystery comes in,
and all the satisfaction in that can be got
ten respecting the matter Is that some
thing that will astonish the citizens of
Wheeling is soon to occur" 1t cannot
come too soon. Astonishmeat in the way
OF new industries cannot hurt Wheeling.
